Meander, who went undrafted in 2018, spent the first 12 weeks of last season on the Browns’ practice squad, but was then picked up by the Raiders. He did not see any game action.

But Douglas apparently believes that the 6-foot-2, 215-pound corner could be of some use to the Jets, especially given their deficiencies at the position. Odds are that defensive coordinator Gregg Williams had something to do with the pickup, too, considering he coached Meander with the Browns during that 12-week stretch.

Right now, Trumaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts are the Jets’ starting corners, with Brian Poole as the top slot option. This move is extremely unlikely to disrupt those players. But Meander could have a big impact on some of the Jets’ depth pieces, depending on how quickly he’s able to readjust to Williams’ scheme and how he looks during training camp.

That should make the likes of Derrick Jones, Jeremy Clark and others down the Jets’ depth chart a bit nervous. Or, at the very least, serve as notice that the Jets would like to add competition and force them to sharpen up, or else.
